MCPAs UNDP Project

The long term goal to which the project will contribute is securing the protection of Albania’s unique coastal and marine biodiversity for current and future generations. The immediate objective is to improve the coverage and management effectiveness of Albania’s network of marine and coastal protected areas as an essential complement to its network of terrestrial PAs
The project objective will be achieved through two outcomes:
i) Improved bio-geographical representation of marine and coastal protected areas (MCPA)
ii) Improved management arrangements for MCPAs, clarifying institutional settings and capacity building.
